Random: Valentines Day Gifts
Posted January 24, 2007 2:35 PM
The history of Valentine's Day is a little vague, but here is what we know, or think we know...Valentine was likely a priest who lived and served in the third century in Rome. Once the Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made a better choice as soldiers than those who were married, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, smelling an injustice, performed marriages in private so that young lovers could be together properly. Ultimately, Valentine was found out and put to death. Not so great as far as gifts for him went that particular year.

I like that story, actually. Not the poor guy dying, but more importantly that there is something behind it other than having to run out and buy crap for my girl because other people are doing it every year. We want to recommend that on top of whatever gifts you decide to get each other, please don't forget the music to get yourselves in the mood for some tender lovin' kisses. We actually recommend the Greatest Valentine's Day Album Ever. No, really, it's not only the best, but it's titled that too. How can you beat that? Too many people forget about the mood music. Make sure you're amply prepared this year. Drop us a line to let us know how it went.
